In one embodiment, the present invention is a content container which resembles conventional beverage cans (such as, for example, soda and beer cans) and having an additional hole or orifice located substantially near or on a bottom surface of the container for dispensing the liquid contained within the container. In one preferred embodiment, the present invention comprises container having a conventional opening on a top surface adapted to provide gas pressure relief, and an additional hole located adjacent to or concurrent with a bottom surface of the container, thereby allowing the liquid contained within the container to be rapidly expelled from the container.

CLAIM OF PRIORITY

The present invention claims priority based upon U.S. Provisional PatentApplication No. 60/541,663, filed Feb. 4, 2004, which is herebyincorporated by reference.

FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention applies broadly to the area of containers and methods forrapidly dispensing the contents from such containers. More specifically,the present invention comprises an apparatus and method which isoptimized for rapidly dispensing content, such as liquid, from thecontainer and in to a consumer's mouth.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Food and drink containers exist for a variety of products and for avariety of reasons. For example, such containers are easy to store, andgood for packaging and shipping beverages in large quantities.

Typical beverage containers or cans have long been used to storeliquids, such as soda, beer, soup, carbonated beverages, water, fruitjuices and other beverages or liquids. Typical containers (or cans) forliquids such as soda or beer, are generally designed to have a pair ofopposed spaced apart end surfaces (top and bottom), with a cylindricalwall joining the opposed spaced apart end surfaces. Usually, on one endof each container (e.g., the top surface), there is placed some form ofpull, push, ring or pop tab which will allow the consumer to create anopening in the can for dispensing and consuming the liquid within thecan. In some embodiments, the tab is removable from the can, while inother embodiments, the tab is designed to remain substantially on, or apart of, the can.

Typically, soda or beer cans are formed such that the cylindrical sidewall tapers inward into an axially outward circular lip or rim near thetop surface of the can. Depending upon the manufacturing process, thisrim may be the bead where the side wall and top surface wall wascompressed together during manufacture, but in any case, this rim isalso used for stacking, as the upper rim is usually of a larger diameterthan the lower rim (e.g., the rim which lacks a tab or access openingarea), thereby allowing each can to be stacked upon one another. Eachend surface wall of a can (e.g., the top and bottom) is generallyperpendicular to the circular lip or rim, offset axially into the can todefine an indented end pocket that serves as a seat for receivinganother can. Typically, the top surface of each can includes a circulartrough adjacent to the rim or lip which is formed as part of the canmaking process.

These types of cans encounter dirt and other contaminants during themanufacture, assembly, filling or shipping of these cans. Usually, dirtor other contaminants are deposited in the indented end pocket on theend wall, and more usually, within the trough adjacent to the topsurface lip. This can become a large problem to the consumer, who mustwipe away such contaminants prior to dispensing content from the can(since the trough is located right next the dispensing port on the topsurface of a can). Further, this problem results in waste, as consumersare unable to consume the contents of the can completely.

Moreover, a common problem with conventional can design is that theliquid is not fully dispensed from the can when emptied, so that the canretains some small amount of liquid or “drops”, thereby resulting in thepotential of liquid spillage should the can be overturned.

Prior to the present invention, there did not exist an apparatus andmethod for smoothly dispensing the liquid from within the can withoutgenerating a large amount of foam (or, “head” or “froth”) from thecarbonated liquid residing in the can. While conventional cans usuallycontain the small pull or pop tab on a top surface to dispense theliquid from a corresponding opening or hole formed in or through thecan, the opening is usually not large enough to rapidly dispense theliquid efficiently and smoothly to prevent foam from resulting (rather,one must slowly pour the liquid from the can to prevent excessive foamfrom occurring). Additionally, the size of the tab opening on the topsurface is the only formation on the can which will allow the dispensingof liquid while at the same time, which will receive air flow back in tothe can to maintain proper gas and liquid pressure, thereby resulting inpoor, slow or non-continuous liquid dispensement from the can. Thisarrangement is a poor solution to consumers who desire to consume thecontents of the can rapidly.

There is a need for a liquid container or can which can rapidly dispenseliquid stored in the can which reduces the chance of ingestingcontaminants, which substantially reduces the foaming effect ofcarbonated liquid, which provides an easy opening and pressure relieffor dispensing of the liquid and which is aesthetically pleasing to theconsumer of such liquid containers. The present invention satisfies thisneed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is an apparatus and method for dispensing content(such as, for example, liquid) from a container. As seen in FIG. 1, anexemplary apparatus for dispensing content 100 is depicted. In thisembodiment, the apparatus 100 comprises a top or main surface 101, abottom or foundation surface 105, and a generally cylindrical side wallsheet 103 disposed and coupled between the top surface 101 and thebottom surface 105 to form container 100. Those of skill in the art willrecognize that the terms “container”, “apparatus” or “can” all refer tothe same object, namely, apparatus 100 as illustrated in FIG. 1, forexample.

In one preferred embodiment, the top surface 101, side wall surface 103and bottom surface 105 may be formed from aluminum or an aluminumcompound, and in other embodiment, such structures may be formed fromplastic or plastic-like material. In still another embodiment, thestructures may be formed from a combination of plastic and/or aluminumcompounds, or other material which is suitable for retaining,maintaining and dispensing the contents placed in to the can 100according to the present invention.

In the embodiment depicted in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a conventional firstorifice 107 is formed on the top surface 101 therethrough, however,orifice 107 is not generally adapted to dispense liquid similar toconventional orifices, but rather, is adapted to provide a pressurerelief orifice similar to a relief valve which will allow smooth andcontinuous flow of the contents of container 100 by stabilizing gas andliquid pressure within the can with the gas pressure surrounding the can100 when dispensing. Those of skill in the art will realize that firstorifice 107 may still be used to dispense liquid if desired by aconsumer. At least one additional or dispensing orifice 109 is formed onthe side surface 103 a and is adapted to rapidly dispense the liquidfrom within the container 100. In one exemplary embodiment as seen inFIG. 1B, the additional orifice 109 is formed adjacent to the bottomsurface 105 in substantial axial alignment with orifice 107. However,those of skill in the art will recognize that the additional orifice maybe formed at any location on the side surface 103, including innon-axial alignment with orifice 107. In still another embodiment of thepresent invention, orifice 107 is formed through can 100 to optimize theflow of the contents of container 100 from the dispensing or additionalorifice 109.

As seen in FIG. 1A, a first seal 107 a may be placed upon, or formedwith, first orifice 107. First seal 107 a may be of any conventionalseal typically associated with conventional can design which is adaptedto retain, maintain and dispense content if necessary. At least a seconddispenser seal 109 a is introduced to cover each dispensing hole 109 andmore than completely cover an area around each hole 109 for properadhesion or coupling to the side surface wall 103. Second dispenser seal109 a is also adapted to retain, maintain and dispense content. The seal109 a may be, for example, a thin, polymeric or plastic seal that isflexible, non-toxic and adapted to securely adhere or removably coupleto the can to prevent the spillage or leakage of the contents of thecan. The seal 109 a, in another embodiment, may be adapted to be peeledaway from the can. The seal 109 a may also be some form of pull, push,ring or pop tab or other accesses adapted to allow a consumer to accessthe contents of the can through a second orifice. In whatever form, theseal 109 a must removably couple to the can to prevent the spillage orleakage of the contents during manufacture, storage, transportation,stacking, movement and other processes normally associated with suchcans. Additionally, the seal 109 a should be adapted to retain itssealing properties in all types of climates, such as high temperature,low temperature, humidity and varied elevation levels while still beingable to be removed from the can by the consumer. If a seal is a pullseal, for example, the seal 109 a should also not have a sticky exteriorsurface so as to prevent it being stuck to another adjacent object (suchas another similarly adapted can).

FIGS. 2A and 2B illustrate another embodiment of the present invention.In this embodiment, the apparatus 100 comprises a top surface 101, abottom surface 105, and a generally cylindrical side wall sheet 103disposed and coupled between the top surface 101 and the bottom surface105 to form container 100. Like the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, afirst orifice 107 is formed on the top surface 101 therethrough. In thisembodiment, the additional or dispensing orifice 119 is formed in anarea where the side surface 103 and the bottom surface 105 intersect,and is similarly adapted to rapidly dispense content such as liquid fromwithin the container 100. In this embodiment, the additional orifice 119is formed in substantial axial alignment with orifice 107. Those ofskill in the art will recognize that the additional orifice 119 can beformed at any location in an area where the side surface 103 and thebottom surface 105 intersect, including in non-axial alignment withorifice 107. Again, orifice 107 is formed to optimize the flow of thecontents of container 100 from the dispensing or additional orifice 109.And, like the embodiment of FIG. 1, at least a second dispenser seal 119a is introduced to cover to cover each dispensing hole 119 and more thancompletely cover an area around each hole 119 for proper coupling to thearea where the side surface 103 and the bottom surface 105 intersect.Like the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the seal 119 aillustrated in FIG. 2A or 2B may also be some form of pull, push, ringor pop tab or other accesses adapted to allow a consumer to access thecontents of the can through a second orifice 119. In whatever form, theseal 119 a must removably couple to the can 100 to prevent the spillageor leakage of the contents during manufacture, storage, transportation,stacking, movement and other processes normally associated with suchcans. Additionally, the seal 119 a should be adapted to retain itssealing properties in all types of climates, such as high temperature,low temperature, humidity and varied elevation levels while still beingable to be removed from the can by the consumer.

Despite the placement of the at least second orifice 109 or 119 on thecan 100, the relationship between the first orifice 107 and at least thesecond orifice (as variously illustrated in FIGS. 1A through-6B) is toincrease, maximize or otherwise optimize the flow of liquid as it poursout of or dispenses from the dispensing orifice, and into the consumer'smouth. In operation to dispense content, a consumer would first placetheir mouth over/on the second container orifice and tilt their head andcorrespondingly, the can, in a position as to displace the content awayfrom the second orifice. The consumer may consume the content from thecan through several methods. For example, the consumer may then eitherremove the first dispensing seal and then the second seal, to consumethe contents of the can from the second orifice. Alternatively, theconsumer may then remove the second seal to consume the contents of thecan while not disturbing the first seal. As another alternative, theconsumer may remove the second dispensing seal and then the firstdispensing seal to consume the contents of the can. Through any methodemployed, by dispensing content from the second container orifice, thefirst orifice 107 functions as a release or relief valve that increasesthe air flow through the can, thereby allowing the content (such as, forexample, liquid) to dispense from the can rapidly and into theconsumer's mouth.

Turning now to FIGS. 3A and 3B, a dispenser or dispensing means 111 maybe optionally utilized in the present invention instead of anorifice/seal arrangement which is adapted to dispense liquid from asecond orifice (not shown). As seen in FIGS. 3A and 3B, an exemplarydispenser or dispensing means 111 may be a straw-like device. In thisembodiment, the second orifice is covered by a dispensing seal (notshown). Dispensing means 111 comprises a coupling end 111 a and adispensing end 111 b. In this embodiment, the coupling end 111 a isattached to the can 100 by a pivot or pivoting means (generally shown inFIG. 3B as 111 c, for example) and may include a pierced end (not shown)adjacent and formed on coupling end 111 a which is adapted to pierce thedispensing seal or otherwise gain access to the contents within the can.When not in use (such as, for example, during transportation and pointof sale display), the straw-like device will reside upright (or,substantially aligned parallel with the major surface axis of the sidesurface wall 103) within a channel 113 formed on the container 100. Inoperation, a consumer would pull the dispensing end 111 b away from thecan 100 and fold or move the dispensing means down and away from the can100. While the dispensing end 111 b is being pulled down and away fromthe can 100, the pierced end 111 a on the dispensing means 111 wouldpivot and subsequently pierce the dispensing seal within channel 113,thereby allowing content to be accessed through the straw-like device.Optionally, the dispensing means 111 (such as the one illustrated inFIGS. 6A and 6B, for example) may be placed along the side and towardsthe bottom of the can; on the bottom and the side of the can, on thebottom lip of the can; or on the bottom of the can.

For additional novelty and ornamentation, as seen in FIGS. 1A through3B, the overall shape of container 100, in one embodiment, is formed asa shotgun shell (with the “base” of the shotgun shell being the topsurface 101 and the “husk” of the shell forming the lower portion of thecan 100). As such, in one embodiment, side wall 103 may not be formed asa smooth, continuous surface, but the side wall 103 may still comprise anon-continuous surface to simulate the various embodiments found in ashotgun shell, bullet or other projectile.

FIGS. 4A through 6B provide another embodiment of the present inventionwhere the “base” of the shotgun shell is formed as the bottom surface205 and the “husk” of the shell is formed on the upper portion of thecan. In these embodiments, and now known to those of skill in the artbased on foregoing disclosure, the apparatus 200 comprises a top surface201, a bottom surface 205, and a generally cylindrical side wall sheet203 disposed and coupled between the top surface 201 and the bottomsurface 205 to form container 200. A first seal 207 a may be placedupon, or formed with, first orifice 207. First seal 207 a may be of anyconventional seal typically associated with conventional can design. Atleast a second dispenser seal 209 a (as seen in FIG. 4A, for example) isintroduced to cover to cover each dispensing hole 209 and more thancompletely cover an area around each hole 209 for proper and secureremovable coupling to the side surface wall 203. Of course, thedispensing orifice and seal arrangement may be placed in differentlocations as in previous embodiments (such as dispensing orifice 219 andseal 209 a illustrated in FIGS. 5A and 5B). Additionally, as seen inFIGS. 6A and 6B, and like the previously disclosed embodiment in FIGS.3A and 3B, a dispensing means 211 may be utilized in the presentinvention instead of an orifice/seal arrangement which is adapted todispense liquid from a representative orifice.

Thus, as seen in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the at least second orifice 209 may bepositioned vertically, along the side and towards the bottom of the can.In this case, the second orifice 209 is located in axial alignment withthe first orifice 207, however the second orifice 209 does notnecessarily have to be in axial alignment as the first orifice 207 onthe top surface 201 of the can.

As seen in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the second container orifice 209 ispositioned half way between the bottom surface 205 and the side surface203 of the can, or formed in an area where the side surface 203 and thebottom surface 205 intersect. In another embodiment, the second orifice209 may be located on the bottom surface 105 or 205 of the cantherethrough (not shown).

As seen in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a straw-like device may also be incorporatedas the dispensing means 211, which folds down and punctures the cancreating a funnel-type spout, which can be placed in one embodimentalong the side and towards the bottom of the can 200; in anotherembodiment, where the bottom surface 205 and the side surface 203 of thecan 200 intersect; in another embodiment, on the bottom lip of the can200; or in still another embodiment, on the bottom surface 205 of thecan 200. As seen in FIG. 6A, the second container orifice is on the samevertical axial location as the first orifice 207, however the secondcontainer orifice 209 does not necessarily have to be in this location.

In either configuration illustrated in FIGS. 1A through 3B, or FIGS. 4Athrough 6B, an aesthetic characteristic to the container is providedwhich may appeal to consumers. For example, the overall shape ofcontainer 100 may be formed to resemble a shotgun shell, gun bullet orweapon projectile. Through modern manufacturing techniques, the overallexterior of container 100 may also be colored to resemble a shotgunshell or bullet. Those of skill in the art will recognize that the outerexterior surface of the cylindrical wall 103 a or 203 a is also adaptedto receive advertisements or brand recognition of the beveragemanufacturer.

As disclosed above, the at least second dispensing orifice 109 or 209may be located in any number of areas on the can's side surface wall 103or 203 according to the various embodiments of the present invention.For example, the second orifice 109 or 209 may be located in a verticaldirection and in axially alignment with the first orifice 107 or 207,along the side and adjacent to the bottom of the container 100 or 200.In this configuration, the second dispensing orifice 109 or 209 does notnecessarily have to be on the same side as the first orifice 107 or 207on the top of the can (as illustrated in, for example, FIGS. 1A, 1B, 4Aand 4B). In another embodiment, the second orifice 109 or 209 may belocated approximately half way between the bottom surface 105 or 205 andthe side 103 or 203 of the can, or formed in an area where the sidesurface 103 or 203 and the bottom surface 105 or 205 intersect (asillustrated in, for example, FIGS. 2A, 2B, 5A and 5B). In anotherembodiment, the second orifice 109 or 209 may be located on the bottomsurface 105 or 205 of the can therethrough.

The present invention may be embodied as a method for manufacturing adispenser, a process for manufacturing a dispenser, an apparatus, anarticle of manufacture, or a product by process or method. Othervariations and modifications of the present invention will be apparentto those of ordinary skill in the art, and is not limited except by theappended claims. The particular values and configurations discussedabove can be varied, and are cited to illustrate particular embodimentsof the present invention. It is contemplated that the use of the presentinvention can involve components having different characteristics aslong as the principles disclosed herein are followed.
